The holiday season is fast approaching, and perhaps you've got a special someone who suffers from acne. The dilemma is how to present them with a gift this holiday season that helps them to fight acne without seeming overly rude or insulting in the process.
Believe me, some people do get offended at the idea of you trying to help them with "practical" gifts to help them with their condition. Even if it was kindly meant. Most people want some that is not only pleasing to the eye, but also has both use and meaning in their world.
For the acne sufferer, they may wish to buy a bottle of Proactiv for themselves, but receiveing it as a gift is another story altogher. Giving something that is astheitally pleasing and helps them to fight and prevent acne really can be a challenge.
There is an option however; mineral makeup is a solution that is not only pleasing to the eyes, but is also recommended by dermatologists the world over to help fight acne and soothe the skin. Because Mineral Makeup is oil free and ground into such a fine powder that it does not clog pores it is ideal for preventing further breakouts.
Mineral makeup is made of all natural minerals extracted from the earth and ground into a fine powder. Different combinations of the minerals produce different colors for a wide range of colors so there is no need for dies or chemicals.
Mineral makeup is not soluable in water and sheilds the skin from moisture getting into the pores when worn. If moisture to get into the pores the bacteria that feeds acne dies. The primary ingredients within mineral makeup are Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide. You may recognise these minerals from the ingredients list on the back of any sunscreen bottle. This is because these minerals are natural sunblocks. Zinc Oxide is also known for it's skin soothing properties.
Mineral makeup is very pleasing to the eye because the powders blend together onto the skin seamlessly and need such a small amount to cover the skin that they look very natural. Both Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide also reflact light and give the face a beautiful glow without looking shiny.
Be sure you check the labels, however for Bismouth Oxychloride, a mineral added to some top name brands to give the makeup a shiny look. Bismouth Oxychloride can irritate acne.
Giving the gift of all natural healthy beauty this season does not have to be impossible with mineral makeup.
Shhhhhhh – I have a secret. She probably didn’t spend more than fifteen minutes, but she had the right tools and the right cosmetics. With Natural Cosmetics, mineral make up made with finely micronized titanium dioxide; you too can have that flawless complexion, dewy and fresh as a sun-kissed daisy on a summer morning.
Natural cosmetics are becoming more and more popular as many cosmetic companies are replacing their regular heavy oil packed liquid make-up with mineral make-up. Mineral makeup lasts longer, is readily available, doesn’t leak, and offers a much simpler application process than liquid makeup. Natural cosmetics last all day long, without feeling heavy, weighing you down, or streaking, like liquids. And the very best part, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to apply them in the morning.
It’s easy to achieve perfection; just follow these simplified directions:
Start with a clean moisturized face. Dampen your face with a few spritzes of mineral water from an atomizer. Blot with a very soft cloth (do not rub completely dry). Sprinkle a small amount of mineral foundation in the lid of your powder container and swish brush lightly, tap, apply in small circular motions all over face. (Use a feather light touch! You’ll need to redip your brush five times for complete coverage.) Apply eye shadow with a foam applicator to contour of eyes. Apply blusher in the hollows of your cheeks, lightly; you don’t need much! Dip large brush in translucent powder and lightly blend over face. Use fluffing motion to keep application very light and blending. Apply eyeliner just behind lashes, very carefully over top of eye shadow. Apply mascara to lashes and separate. Apply lipstick with a lip brush and gloss lightly.
You’re so gorgeous! Yes, that stunning reflection in the mirror is definitely you delicately touched with color, and china doll perfect.
Mineral makeup is good for your skin. It allows your skin to breath, absorbing necessary oxygen for youth and refreshment. Natural cosmetics fill up the tiny lines in your skin, cover blemishes, and protect you from damaging sunrays with a high SPF and natural coverage to keep UVA and UVB rays from your skin. Mineral makeup offers many benefits, and you don’t get brown liquid foundation on your favorite white blouse.
You can leave your makeup case at home; you won’t need a touch up all day. A bit of gloss in your purse and you’re ready to go.
For an evening out on the town, a bit of mineral makeup glitter sprinkled liberally across your shoulders and just a hint across your cheeks should dress you up appropriately!
